Rutgers 2012 iGEM Team: Biofuels in Bacteria

1. Would any of your project ideas raise safety issues in terms of?

Researcher Safety
Use of hazardous chemicals: Ethidium Bromide (EtBr)

Public Safety 
None

Environmental Safety? 
None

Security Threats? 
None

Our projects are involved with Butanol pathways and light detection. By themselves they pose no risk to anyone. Although the yield of 1-Butanol must be handled with caution due to its flammability.

 

2. Do any of the new biobrick parts (or devices) that you made this year raise any safety issues? If yes,

For the parts that are already in the registry no safety issues have been encountered.  The five BioBrick parts we are creating from scratch are transcriptional regulators and genes which should not raise any safety issues
